Hi David,
I'm not familiar with this species, so will get Chris to have a look when he gets back. I presume it would be an escapee, and note it is not on the annotated list or ABR although there appears to be a single 2013 Kaleen record transferred from the COG database...
Chris- if this ID is correct, would you want an unusuals form done for suspected escapees?

It is definitely way out of range - my thoughts were escapee.

Escaped out of the Canberra Avery at Gold Creek? I know they have a few of these!

I agree, a Regent Parrot escapee, no unusual form required.
